A short film featuring 7 service personnel who share their stories about what inspired them to join up.

Being inspired to join the RAF is one part of the journey, and this short film covers all the reasons why RAF personnel choose to stay. That is because, no other employer can match the RAF in its travel and adventurous training offers.
This compilation of interviews showcases 8 personnel. For them, meeting people and the strong camaraderie are incredible – it is a tight knit family. The job security is very strong –no matter what happens, the military will keep moving. The opportunities are endless – you just need to be pro-active. You might even get a chance to fly in a jet!
